Supernatural Secrets of Successful Marriage 11

Responsibility and Purpose in Marriage

The Obamas

Posted by Ambassador T. BrikinsWhy do we marry? How compatible are our purpose for love and marriage with Biblical Principles on love and marriage?Social Trends sometimes reflect the biblical purposes of marriage especially in the West. This trend played out in a Survey carried out on Love and Marriage by Pew Research Center in the United States of America in February 13,2013. In the report, 93% of married did it for love while 84% of the unmarried said they will marry for love. 87% married for making a life long commitment and 74% will marry for long life commitment. 81% married did it for companionship while 63% of unmarried will marry for companionship. 59% married for having children while 44% of unmarried will marry for having children. 31% married for financial stability while 30% of unmarried will marry for financial stability. The research asked married and unmarried separately...1,306 for married 1,386 for unmarried.Apart from financial stability, the other motivating purposes for marriage align with biblical purposes. But the question would be why the problems and high divorce rate in marriage ?

God created us and established the marriage institution
for our good. He blessed marriage and
gave instructions for its success. He always speaks before a thing happens.
‘But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand’. Mark 13:23.’’For
the Lord God of Israel says, that He hates divorce and it covers one’s garment
with violence’’. Malachi 2:16.

1.The success of any marriage starts
with the husband who as Captain of the marriage ship must LOVE his wife, just as Christ loved the Church and gave himself for
her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the
word that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or
wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy without blemish. So the
husband ought to love his wife as his own body; he who loves his wife loves
himself. For no one ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it,
just as the Lord does the church. Ephesians 5:25-29

This shows that there are basic responsibilities in marriage which
separates the boys from the men. The beauty and
beautification of a wife is the responsibility of the man.

In this scripture a secret is revealed in the statement that the husband
should do like Jesus Who gave Himself to the Church by, '’... the washing of
water by the word’’. The instrument in operation is the word. If we remember
that God upholds everything by the word then we must equip our understanding
with the role the word of God can have in marriage. When Isaac’s wife Rebbecca was
barren he prayed to God and God answered him.

Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them. Colossians
3:19.

Maya Angelou...legendary Poet, Author etc

Bitterness has to do with a piercing and biting attitude. Bitterness
drips resentment, gall and rancor. It makes it very difficult to accept or tolerate a person. The poisonous potency in bitterness must not be allowed to survive
the dawn of day. If it does the individual becomes spiritually defiled.

The consequence is paralyzing as shown in the following statement.

‘Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honour to
the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of
life, that your prayers may not be
hindered’. 1Peter3:7.

This is a serious matter. It means that a husband who does not love his
wife will have his prayers hindered.

Joyce Meyer-Televangelist

2.On the other hand, the wife should SUBMIT herself to her husband, as she
would do to God. For the husband is
the head of the wife, as also Christ is the head of the church; and he is the
Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let
the wife be subject to her husband in everything. Ephesians 5:22-24.

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Colossians
3:18

‘’Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some
do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be worn by the conducts of
their wives,

When they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.

Do not let your adornment be merely outward-arranging the hair, wearing
gold, or putting on fine apparel-

Rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible
beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of
God.

For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God
also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands

As Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord, whose daughters you are if you
do well and are not afraid with any terror’’. 1 Peter 3:1-6.

This seemingly simple instructions have capacity to deal with terrorizing
demons of marriage. To obey the word of God is effective than countless vigils
and counsels.

The Marriage Triangle

3.Everything is created for a defined PURPOSE and as Myles Munroe of blessed
memory says, if the purpose for a thing is not known abuse is inevitable. The
three main purposes of marriage are for companionship, intimacy and
procreation.

4.4COMPANIONSHIP, is
the state of being or fellowship with someone. ''It is not good that man should be alone; I
will make him a helper comparable to him'', was the reason God gave for creating the woman. So, a woman was created to solve man’s loneliness. Furthermore, this companionship was repeated regarding treachery of infidelity.''...Yet she is your companion and the wife of your covenant[made at your marriage vows]. A consciousness of
companionship will settle a lot of marital issues.

5.Another purpose for marriage is for couples to express INTIMATIMATE LOVE. ‘‘For I am love
sick. His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me’. ‘Drink
water from your own cistern, and running water from your own well. Should your fountains
be dispersed abroad, streams of water in the streets? Let them be only your
own, and not for strangers with you. Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice
with the wife of your youth. As a loving deer and a graceful doe, let her
breast satisfy you at all times; and always be enraptured by her love’’. ‘‘Many
waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drawn it’’. Song of Songs 2:3-7; Proverbs 5:15-20; Songs
of Songs 8:7.

The Romantic part of the Bible is often overlooked. This has caused havoc
in some marriages. However, this love songs from Song of Songs reads like lines
from romantic novels, poems or a movie scene suggesting
that intimacy in marriage should be as intimate apparels-woman’s nightclothes.
Intimacy in marriage must be planned, strategized and even budgeted
for. My Spiritual Mother told me that money in marriage is like the water you water the beautiful red red Rose bush. No assumptions.

1. 6 .PRODUCE CHILDREN. God
blessed them, and God said to them, ‘‘be fruitful and multiply…’’.Genesis 1:28.
The ability to procreate is a blessing from God which nothing can stop. Fruitfulness
is a state of intrinsic existence, potent in itself, imbued by God.
